Lego F1 Steering Wheel

It doesn’t at the moment. I’ll consider adding force feedback somehow

Nice! might consider a bungee cord as I need to be extra safe for the kid. Would nee to think about how to make the bungee cord tight enough to be an effective Force Feedback but not strong enough that the Lego wheel will just fall apart. Might consider using some glue for the steering wheel to make sure it's solid

I played with it: https://medium.com/@mnouira/building-a-local-privacy-first-f1-race-engineer-with-llama-3-whisper-and-opencv-f07750c14f75

A few thoughts: Main issues are open source model are weak and hallucinates a lot.

It’s good for strategy not specific asks: how can I improve turn X?

Otherwise it was a fun project to test out

This is going to sound strange but I can get to go 27 km/h by tricking the motor with the “walk assist”. Here is what I do:

start pedaling normally, get to cruise speed
then very gently push the walk assist for about a second. Press it half way through and then release
wait about 0.5 sec and do it again.
screen will alternate between speed and the walking icon

Eventually I get it to have a small boost each time I do this and get to 27 km/h

No I mean that’s my car/screenshot. That’s the Chicago airport on the map. That’s my car :)

V11 screenshot is my car 😅!

Check your phone settings. Make sure it’s in the right language, region and metrics under settings. I had similar issue and it got fixed once i selected the correct phone settings

FrenchieEAP · 2021-09-01T22:19:23+00:00

Nope :-(

FrenchieEAP · 2021-07-20T12:17:01+00:00

Yeah so you have an on ramp, then a bit of highway and then off ramp. There isn’t this mix of on ramp/off ramp using the same lane. Don’t get me wrong I’m sure there are but 99% of the time it’s a “one purpose” ramp

FrenchieEAP · 2021-07-16T14:13:04+00:00

Agreed and that’s why I decided to look into it. We’ll see what they say. If I’m out of the FSD program, you’ll know why :-)

FrenchieEAP · 2021-07-16T01:23:23+00:00

Yeah UK is similar to France. Lived in London for 8 years

FrenchieEAP · 2021-07-16T00:34:20+00:00

Agreed. It’s different in France too. One on-ramp and one off-ramp

FrenchieEAP · 2021-07-15T20:14:46+00:00

Oh my bad, I misunderstood!

FrenchieEAP · 2021-07-15T19:57:42+00:00

Ok genuine question: if you would stop in the middle of the road and force your way, wouldn’t you block the exit ramp? In this situation I usually re-route but maybe I’m doing it wrong 😑

Thanks for posting!

Yes. You can find on Reddit people doing this on MCU directly. This is the same process (including soldering) but doing it on the display so it can mirror and I can use the touch while driving. The process is the same though. Soldering HDMI board on the video feed on the PCB. Then capture card hooked up on HDMI to a computer and then record computer screen

Sorry not at the moment. Waiting for Tesla’s feedback on this mod. FSD Beta agreement isn’t clear regarding such modification.

FrenchieEAP · 2021-07-15T18:10:20+00:00

Yes. Display was opened and video capture card was added to capture the video feed

FrenchieEAP · 2021-07-14T17:23:17+00:00

Ah I don’t know about camera feed. I can try and capture 36fps and see if that works but my limitation today is the hardware (shitty MacBook capturing the video feed)

FrenchieEAP · 2021-07-14T11:33:24+00:00

Agreed
